Henry Neville (writer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Neville (writer) Henry Neville (1620–1694) was an English politician, author and satirist, best remembered for his tale of shipwreck and dystopia, ''The Isle of Pines'' published in 1668. In 1651, he was elected to the English Council of State, where he played a part in foreign policy. Later, he was in opposition to Oliver Cromwell, against whom he wrote some political pamphlets. ==Life== Neville was born in 1620, the second son of Sir Henry Neville (died 1629) of Billingbear House at Waltham St Lawrence in Berkshire, being younger brother of the Royalist commander, Richard Neville. His grandfather, Sir Henry Neville, had served as Ambassador to France. He was educated at Merton and University Colleges at Oxford, but left without graduating. At an early age, he married Elizabeth, the daughter and heiress of Richard Staverton of Heathley Hall in Warfield which became the couple's country estate. His wife apparently died young.〔Nicholas von Maltzahn, (''Neville, Henry (1620–1694).'' ) Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 -- accessed 1 Dec 2014〕
